But you reserved a copy, right?

Why reserve a copy of a book that I already have memorized?

I picked up some new books for the first time in forever.

Zodiac by Neal Stephenson
Feed by Mira Grant
World War Z by Max Brooks

These should last me about a week.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Diomedes

Stephenson...that's the guy who writes the fictional thrillers chock full of scientific greats, etc?

World War Z...not much better than a well flushed out back story for a zombie video game.

And also books about science monks meeting inter-dimensional travelers.

What Dio means to say is World War Z is awesome and needs to be made into a movie ASAP


I just read the two Gears of War Books that had been written by Karen Traviss, who wrote the story for the upcoming 3rd game, that go along with the story. Makes me both extremely nerdy, and even more interested than I already was in the story. Good stuff. The 3rd one comes out August 31st. Then a 4th to follow it that's supposed to lead right into the 3rd game when it comes out in April

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Bought the wife a Barnes & Noble Nook thing today.  Pretty cool.  Also have a Kindle on the way, so she can compare side by side and return the one she likes less.
